It's the local European laws. For example in Finland, where I live all analytics software must display a consent because the data is used for non-essential purposes. Applies to Volument and our competitors. More details on this doc, wh

Cool. Another one having issues with the traditional A/B testing. Good to hear (sorry). Just confirms that we are solving a real problem.

Thanks Rathark!

Thanks! I agree: it definitely is a long time! The main reasons are: 1. The data from big customers was something we didn't expect. Tens of thousands of blog entries and referring domains. Measuring tractino for all of them was a no-go

In Finland?

I live in Helsinki. People here are generally happy to pay the taxes to get all the good stuff from the goverment. I would personally support higher tax levels.

Hey. Founder of Volument[1] here. We consulted EU law specialists on this particular matter. You are right: you definitely need a cookie banner when you store or process PII data. But GDPR is just an extension to ePrivacy, which says that y

Shared this here because I think the NIH syndrome is far too rarely discussed in a positive light. The article brings some fresh air to the topic.

This essay makes a strong assumption that haters are haters and fanboys are fanboys. Always and constantly. I think both figures are myths. I have never met a person who always hates everyone or someone who fanboys everyone. I think we are

Another valid option is to fix bugs. Now the page renders nicely with JavaScript disabled.

That's a good reference article indeed. I remember that. Seems Chickenshit Minimalism is defined as "the illusion of simplicity backed by megabytes of cruft" — which is not in play on the article. But yeah... need to make tha

Yes. There is a backend that stores errors and an interface to view them. This article simply compares the size/complexity/feature-richness of the frontend code. Sentry UI is good and we are familiar with it. So is ours. It's

Yes. There is a reason commercial packages are big/bloated/complex etc. This is an opportunity for all of us.

Absolutely. This is highly correlated. Seems many minimalist geniuses are from Germany.

Yup. In case all the dependencies are bug-free.

There is indeed a fine line between NIH and minimalism. They have a strong correlation. You have to compromise between unnecessary features/bloat/crap or simply do it yourself. It's often surprising how easy it is to make som
